Hey all,
Elika and I worked on text level 4 a bit ago, changing it into a diff spec
(it only contains new things for now) and adding a ‘balance’ value to the
text-wrap property [1]. This value is meant for smaller bits of text -
headlines and captions, mainly - that would look better with less line
length variation.
A Headline That Looked Like
This
Would change to:
A Headline That
Looked Like This
The initial definition reads:
-----
balance
Same as normal for inline-level elements.
For block-level elements line breaks are chosen
to minimize the deviation from the average line length
over the entire element
(including lines that end in a forced break).
The exact algorithm is UA-defined.
UAs may treat this value as normal
if there are more than ten lines to balance.
-----
Comments welcome.
Alan
